Edna St. Vincent Millay

“I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one. ”
– Afternoon on a Hill

Emily Dickinson

“A WORD is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.”

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.”
– The Rainy Day
